NVC emailed me back with my CASE# already.... good-good.... but since my priority date is still away from the dates that they are processing as of now, so they were saying that they will detain my petition in NVC till a visa will be available... maybe, im guessing mid of 2010 that they will start sending me stuff to process... which is still not a bad thing at all....i thought i wont be approved till 2010.

NVC adviced me to keep on checking for the priority dates with this number ---> (202) 663-1541 which i tried calling just to check how it is, and an automated voice will just say the dates for the categories that are being processed by NVC for this moment. so cool and fast.

Heres a GOOD NEWS for all of us LPRs:

i saw it online yesterday that they are already trying to finalized the bill for LPRs who are petitioning their spouses to be in the same category as USC... so for short, a visa will be available right away... we dont have to wait for years and forever in that case. i HOPE, PRAY, and WISH that this will be implemented soon.... continue in keeping my fingers crossed for that issue.... so much for that.... just wanted to share it to you guys.... have a safe, fun weekend everyone

Wow very nice Mitch. Half-way there. Right now they are doing January 1, 2006 at NVC. you can actually check at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin...letin_4597.html it is just a click away instead of calling the phone service plus you can see the past months also (see how fast it is moving.

I still have a pending I-130 from Vermont to Texas and nothing happening there. A few days ago called USCIS and they said to wait 60 days from the date of the trasfer, if nothing happening yet to call them back. The petitioner will be applying for USC in four months, after all it looks like we won't be using the LPR spouse visa number at the rate that our application is going.

What billl is that the one for LPR spouses? More details please!!! Thanks.

@mitch,

Just like yna said, the next thing to expect is the Choice of Agent letter from NVC. I suggest you give NVC a call and talk to an operator so as to register with NVC the email addresses of yourself and your hubby. NVC prefers to send information through email. Besides it is faster and more reliable than regular mail.

mitch,

I just can't understand why you have not been able to get through to NVC. You seem to be calling the right number. You can check for yourself the number on NVC web site http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3177.html

It might have something to do with your phone provider. I suggest you try calling again from a friend's phone with a different phone service provider.

I live in California like you and I am able to call the number easily.

Michelle, is there anyway you can ask your hubby what number did he use in calling NVC? thanks...
